The Light Under Dark (#1 Masters of the Dark Series) ✅

A wobbly Madox tripped as his bare foot caught on wandering, withered branches. His eyes widened in surprise, on some other occasion he would have been skilled enough to spin as he fell and slow the impending impact. He would have emerged completely unscathed from such a ridiculous fall. But today, that was not the case. Madox landed head-on, a few branches embedded in his skin - which was extremely resistant - and caused superficial wounds. He was sure that anything now would cause him pain. “s**t!” a hoarse pain cry left him as he rolled onto his back, mud clung to his bare chest and torn jeans. He hated the sensation of dirt trapped under his all-too-short fingernails. He had always prided himself on his appearance. His clothes were always impeccable, with a Spartan discipline he made sure that everything about him - and his home - was in place. But today… was different. It had been another whole other thing for quite some time. “Are you there?” The voice of that damn woman. The woman he had been hunting for so long was now hunting him. He turned out to be a tremendous i***t. Madox could do no more than crawl through the mud until he ran into a hollow log on the ground wide enough for him to maneuver his body inside. Her footsteps could be heard closer and closer. A scream of terror caught in his throat when the noise suddenly ceased. Madox covered his mouth with both hands and closed his eyes, he could do nothing but pray to his deity to protect him -even though he had stopped hearing his cries for help- and delude himself into believing it would actually save him. “I think it’s better if you come out, don’t make me drag you out.” Even though her voice was sweet, he heard the threat and cruelty behind every word that came out of her mouth. “I will count to three and if you don’t come out by then, you will find yourself in a far much worse predicament. Don’t think for one second you can outsmart me.” Madox forced himself out of hiding and as soon as he felt the wind kiss the exposed skin on his back, Tana wrapped her slender, long fingers around his neck, forcing him to stand up to face her. Her scent still mesmerized him; he couldn't deny it. She smelled of expensive perfume, vanilla and s*x. She still smelled of him. His nostrils twitched as he breathed in Tana's scent, she realized and squeezed his neck. “How did you get out?” She asked rather sweetly. “How about we play cards for the answer?” Her eyes narrowed dangerously so. She squeezed his neck again with more force this time, Madox's vision was beginning to blur, white dots like stars flashed in the veil of darkness caused by lack of oxygen. It had always been like this. She tortured him by seizing the air from him and he was reacting in a completely different way. It was outrageous. Was necessary. For him, this was a drug. Even though he had trouble staying conscious, behind his pants an erection started to loom. His c**k swelled under the denim, he couldn’t quite help himself and moaned through his greeted teeth. When she squeezed again, he fell on his knees before her. “My beautiful wolf. Show me how grateful you are that I have found you.” Tana let him go for a moment to open the lapels of her luxurious black silk robe. In front of Madox's eyes, beautiful curves of a delicious caramel shade urged him to take from her everything he wanted. Tana's breasts were neither too big nor too small, they were perfect for Madox's hands. “I’d be more grateful if I could go back home and water my plants. I bet they’re dying.” She pursed her lips, not amused at all. “Did you know I also have a fish? “You don’t say.” Cold. Hard. He nodded, “Yeah, just let me go feed the poor little thing and I’ll be back in… one hundred years? How does that sound?” He smiled mockingly for good measure. Tana slapped him so hard that he was sure his brain beat like morning scrambled eggs in a pan. Before he could do anything else, Tana straddled him and began to fumble with his fly, soon after she had his c**k between her palms. “Now, show me how grateful you are!” “And, cut!” Tana´s demeanor completely changed from a murderous b***h to the one of a very sweet and shy girl. He loved that about her. It was one of the reasons he had agreed to do this with her on the first place. “I’m sorry for being so mean!” She hugged him as he started to tuck himself back into his jeans. “No worries love,” he kissed her cheek affectionately as one of the crew members came jogging towards them. The guy, very carefully, started to cover Tana’s exposed body with a blanket. She leaned back and thanked the guy as she adjusted the material around her, “I think we needed just that.” “Excellent job, you two! I’m so happy with how things turned out!” Madox smirked when Leah approached them, looking happy and full of life. When Leah offered Tana a role in an erotic film - Leah being the director - she explained that the project was special. It wasn't about reading a script and memorizing scenes with the other cast members, no. Nothing of that. This was new. A technique that Leah had been developing after participating in something similar in the past. It was quite simple, the director just needed to explain to the actors what the movie was about and how it should end. The rest depended entirely on the actors. It was like taking a leap of faith. “Really?” Tana asked as she rose and helped her man up. “Abso-f*****g-lutely!” Leah squealed as she threw her arms around her best friend. The two of them had met during the filming of a movie with several scenes of orgies. It was pretty funny to imagine that their friendship came from licking the balls of the same man. Although it was a strange start - under unusual circumstances - he was happy for Tana. Like Leah, Madox had met his girlfriend-soon to be wife-during another shoot a few years later. The only difference was that Madox was not an actor, but rather one of the film's lead investors. From the moment his eyes fell on that beautiful woman, his world turned one hundred and eighty degrees. “So, how are you guys feeling? Do you feel immersed in the movie?” Madox nodded eagerly, surprised at how much he was enjoying himself in spite of having a few injuries -nothing to be concerned about- but he told himself it would be worth it in the end. “Yeah, Tana has been awesome, and I truly feel like we’re not doing a movie. It all feels so… real. I honestly don’t know how you do this every day! All of you! I am very, very impressed. Thank you for inviting me, Leah.” Leah grinned, rather embarrassed it seemed to him, “It’s a learning process. I am glad you’re enjoying this side of the industry.” “Oh he certainly is.” Tana teased as she gave Madox’s ass a gentle squeeze. “We’e been also practicing at home.” “Oh? Give me details, I wanna know aaaall about it.” Leah said with a suggestive tone. “Well, that’s my cue to leave.” Madox said as he leaned to land an affectionate kiss on Tana’s cheek. Both women protested but he simply backed off and let them have their fun. He had no problem with Tana sharing with the world what they did in their bedroom, on the contrary. He encouraged her to be herself as long as she wasn’t hurting anyone with her actions. And so Madox walked out from the set feeling fresh and stupidly happy, unbeknown that there was something coming after him. He had no idea the unexpected turn his life was going to take.
